A parts tote includes a frame having transversely extending front and rear metal rod members connected by fore-and-aft extending side handle portions which include a hand grips of diameter of at least 1.25 inches for maximum use of hand strength. The handles extend at an angle of approximately 17 degrees from the horizontal so that the wrists remain straight while the tote is carried. The distance between the handles is set at shoulder width. The distance between the rod members is on the order of 12 inches or less to maintain a center of gravity close to the worker's body. One of several plastic containers or trays of differing depths, preferably on the order of 6 inches, may be snapped onto the frame. Tray side walls extend upwardly and diverge from the tray bottom to an upper edge location offset slightly inwardly and downwardly from the hand grip to provide substantial clearance for a gloved hand. Accessories, such as front brackets for hanging the tote from the upper edge of a shipping crate, may be attached to the metal rod portions of the frame by welding or other suitable method.
